Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[McLaren]

To this date, that is is most expensive car ive ever seen

Just curious, but are you from California, or was that just the car from there?

 

[Joey D]

Citroen 2CV from yesterday at the Auto Europe place on Woodward. Despite being at a dealership the car was driven there since I saw him pull in while stopped at the light.

 

[DQuaN]

A newcomer to the car park.

 

[Joey D]

That thing is hideous.

How not to modify a 300ZX (that's what it is isn't it?)

 

[Jim Prower]

Wednesday I caught a '56 Chevy. I could see it had a TON of miles on it: it was badly rusted, and desperately needed some love, but at least it wasn't in the junkyard.

and that feels good.

My Uncle owns a '57 Chev wagon. In perfect appearance as he restored it himself from a scrap heap. One of only 5 in Australia. Maybe I should take a pic of it and show you guys. I got taken to my formal in it. Seen some nice cars that day- why didn't I have a camera *palms fore-head*

 

[Diego440]

Dunc, did you move to Rice-telhemshire or something with a typically Brit name?

Yeah, Im actually from the wine country

There are a ton of awesome cars around here, i just dont have time to take pictures of them. All of the pictures I put in this thread are me going to or come from work or school.

Im only 45 minutes from Infineon raceway, so I get a fair share or high end cars, but, I can always snap a pictures of them. I dont want to post in this thread saying "hey look, I saw:
360 modena
71 charger
GT500 07'
Viper SRT-10"

I would rather post pictures instead

Absolutely incredible - glad you got to see that SLR 722, Vash, and yes indeed it's owned by that guy. So cool to see that with Oklahoma tags on it - Hong Kong and Atlanta haven't got anything on Norman!

Don't know if you noticed the number on the tag or not, but it says 722 XTV on a normal Oklahoma tag. I did not notice it the first time I looked at the boot part of the car. When I did see it, I grinned a little and said, "That is a nice plate for the car".

I also wanted to know if there had been any other 722 spottings in the thread; I cannot really remember if there had been or not. I know there has been some normal SLR spottings.

Triumph TR7.


928.

That's funny - I hadn't noticed. He probably asked the clerk for some special treatment. Given what he paid to register they probably obliged. Depending on the person they're willing to do that from time to time.

I can't say, but I'd be surprised if we had any other 722s, and if we did, it's probably a very small number.

 

[Alex.]

Yeah someone posted one the day after I posted the ferrari parade, it was parked in the visitors car park where I saw the black normal SLR.

I thought it was kinda neat that it part of it was "personalized" even though it was a normal tag. I am sure the people at the Tag Office would not mind doing something like that every now and then.

Dang, I was hoping I was the first time. Oh well . . .

Ah, ok then. I was just amazed a Californian could see a Bentley & that would become the most expensive car he has seen despite California's love for red heads.

To carry on the Australian Muscle theme I started with the Monaro GTS 350 yesterday, here is its arch rival:



Ford Falcon XB GT 351

I was driving so I couldn't get a front shot of it, but this is what they look like:

 

[Rue]

I found a new place for spotting cars yesterday and amongst a few others I saw an absolutely immaculate yellow '72 BMW 3.0 CSL (E9), 1 of 500 RHD models built. Although it was sans Batmobile kit, it was still quite a sight. I also saw an, also immaculate, red 911 Turbo flatnose which, if original and I'm sure it was, was 1 of 236 built and probably much fewer in RHD trim.

 

[bondy_1625]

Nice spots Rue, no pics though?

Celica GT-Four


AMV8 Vantage (I think only the 1st of 2nd i've seen )



SL55 pretending to be an SL65 (Saw the rims and thought SL65! Ralised afterwards it wasnt)

Nice one mate, I see an orange one of a similar model from time to time, but you actually got a picture of it- cool.

PS- Do you guys ever get pulled over for taking photos and driving at the same time?

 

[bondy_1625]

Not yet, hopefully not ever, i know that we shouldnt do it, i try to take all my pics when im at least parked at traffic lights though, the 2nd amv8 shot (blurry) was as i was moving off, still didnt like doing it even at low speeds.

 

[Rue]

I've always got pics! Have to wait until I finish work though. No pic of the white R32 in the background of the Celica shot?

Nah, i saw it only after it had turned the corner and was almost parallel to me blocked by another car, pretty sure it wasnt a GT-R though, no spoiler either, so not particularly special, although not common around here.

Shame. I can't think of many cars that I like more than white, despoilered R32 GT-R's.

Thanks

I have never been dumb enough to take a photo in a policeman's presence.

An OK day today I suppose. Not much to rave about. But what better way to fill in an hour on a rainy Saturday afternoon than to cruise around and look for interesting cars to photograph?


A Porsche Boxster that was nearly inaccessible in a hotel compound. Anyone would think they didn't wany people spying on the vehicles in there!

An Audi S6. I've seen this car around a few times now and finally managed to get a shot of it.

An FPV GT-P Herrod Limited Edition. Not sure how rare these are (I seen a few actually) but thought I'd shoot this one and put some pics up for y'all.

And this big-ass tractor. Doesn't really count as it's at a dealer. Still big-ass though.

Herrod is an aftermarket independent tuner for Fords. So it's not a model per se. It's still a cool spot though as the GT-P is rare enough. 👍

An aftermarket model is normally quite rare, that'd be the same as seeing as Walkinshaw E-Series GTS, which I haven't seen yet. Are Herrod the same guys that made the supercharged Ford Ute on the cover of a mag not long ago?
